What was the turning point in the American Civil War?


assistant
The Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863) is generally regarded as the turning point in the American Civil War. The Union victory at this battle, coupled with General Ulysses S. Grant's successful Vicksburg Campaign and the surrender of Confederate forces at Port Hudson, Louisiana on July 9, 1863, ultimately led to a Union victory in the war.
